Mommy and Mukluks

It was a busy day for the Seattle Sappingtons today. It was the bishop's convocation for Evie and Will, and judging by the picture Will sent to my phone, Evie was enjoying herself (she was sleeping). It was early to the lab for me so I could be home just in time for Will to take off again for Thursday evening practices and meetings. At least we could all enjoy breakfast together, except for Evie who was a little impatient and ate earlier.

While Will and I ate our oatmeal, we heard new sounds coming from our daughter. I think they were the beginnings of laughter! I still don't know what was so funny, but her shriek certainly made Will and I laugh. I'm so thankful that she is learning to express herself, and even more thankful that those expressions are happy ones.

Evie and I went for a walk this afternoon, and since it was a little drizzly, it was a perfect opportunity to try out her new mukluks from Aunt Becky. Finally, some footwear that Evie can grow into! They did the trick and she stayed toasty the whole walk. She is staying awake more, and now we both enjoy the blooming cherry trees on our strolls around the neighborhood.
